Crazy? I don't think so. Considering that Pike himself called this mountain "unclimbable," I think this road is a monument to intelligent planning, careful execution, and come pretty serious maintenance. I think it is absolutely wonderful Colorado has public highways that assume the driver is an intelligent being who can drive difficult roads. I once drove this road in a rental and had a TON of fun—especially because in those days, the final few miles near the top were gravel.
